I dreamed of Moses / He wanted to put my hair into corn rolls

I said I thought you were born way before they came into fashion./He said don’t be silly/your dreams never follow the chronology of history/and the purpose of dreaming is still quite a mystery/even to me.Ezra Furman – I dreamed of Moses

With the Winter Meetings gearing up there are so many rumors floating around (the main one about Santana and the Yankees.) I for one will be obsessively checking for updates during the Meetings in hopes of getting good news (and good news only, damnit.)So, what’s new in Baseball Land? Well a whole lotta nothing. Sheesh, booooring. Here are very obscure baseball related items:* TBL graciously fed my need for Criminal Minds and caught me up on last week’s episode so I am ready for tonight!* Lucy is being trained to answer “What’s your favorite sport?” question with “Baseball.” Duh.* I have marked the MLB shopping catalog with Christmas ideas, for me.* Oh, Jon Heyman (from Sports Illustrated) kind of pisses me off.* Cincinnati Reds are poised for a breakout in 2008. Hmm…* The office Ass Clown is about this far away from getting my brushed-leather-with-wedge-heel boot upside his head (as if I could get my leg that high.)

Baseball is not necessarily an obsessive-compulsive disorder, like washing your hands 100 times a day, but it's beginning to seem that way. We're reaching the point where you can be a truly dedicated, state-of-the-art fan or you can have a life. Take your pick. ~Thomas Boswell, Washington Post, 13 April 1990
